"Under an agreement with the Federal Election Commission, Americans for a Republican Majority's political action committee agreed to pay a $115,000 fine and close. The agreement, reached July 7, was made public late Wednesday.
The agreement resulted from an audit by the FEC of the committee's records from Jan. 1, 2001, to Dec. 31, 2002. The audit found DeLay's committee had not properly reported contributions, disbursements and cash on hand.
It also found the committee failed to properly report outstanding debts and obligations and did not follow federal rules for paying for shared federal and nonfederal activities."
